Global Warming Hoax Confirmed

I have an idea. Let's stop shitting on the planet. I don't give a fuck what reason we do that for, just so we stop.

Republican Skepticism Toward Global Warming Eases
Concern among Republicans back to pre-2009 levels
by Lydia Saad

PRINCETON, NJ -- Democrats and Republicans retain markedly different views about global warming, with 75% of Democrats versus 40% of Republicans saying they personally worry about it a "great deal" or "fair amount." Both groups' levels of concern about global warming have fluctuated in recent years. Republicans -- as well as independents, at 59% -- show slightly increased levels of worry in 2013, following 10-year lows in 2010 and 2011. Concern has held steady at a high level among Democrats throughout the past decade.
.....
Bottom Line

While fundamentally a scientific matter, the global warming debate has taken on strong political overtones, with Democrats broadly accepting the validity of global warming research and Republicans generally dismissing it. Skeptics gained some footing in the last decade, when global warming dissenters in the scientific community garnered national attention at the same time that the validity of some prominent global warming research came under attack due to the "Climategate" leaked email scandal. Today, with those news stories fading, and 2012 setting records for high temperatures across the country, public concern is again heating up.

Sea level rise is longer term but at this point for practical purposes unstoppable.

Ironic that the east coast US is subject to higher rate of rise than elsewhere

Sea-level rise accelerates faster on US east coast

18:00 24 June 2012 by Michael Marshall

Sea level rise off the US east coast is accelerating up to four times faster than the global average. The finding confirms model predictions that the east coast will bear the brunt of the unevenly rising waters. It also suggests that a major Atlantic current may be slowing down, which could see temperatures drop in Europe.

The "hotspot" of rising sea levels extends over 1000 kilometres from Cape Hatteras in North Carolina to Boston, Massachusetts, and possibly further north into Canada. It was identified by Asbury Sallenger and colleagues at the United States Geological Survey in St Petersburg, Florida, using tide gauge data from 1950 to 2009.

News of the hotspot may come as a surprise in North Carolina, where the state Senate recently passed a bill forbidding the use of models that include accelerating sea level rise. The bill has since been rejected by the state's House of Representatives.

Up, up and up

Sea levels are rising around the world, driven by climate change. Much of the rise comes from water expanding as it heats up, but melting ice caps are also contributing. The rise is accelerating: during the 20th century levels rose at an average of 1.7 millimetres per year, but since 1993 the rate has reached 3 mm/y.

But sea levels do not rise evenly around the world. In 2009 Jianjun Yin, now at the University of Arizona in Tucson, used a climate model to predict that the US east coast would see more than its fair share of rising sea levels (Nature Geoscience, DOI: 10.1038/ngeo462).

hehe - legislated head burying....attempted...

it did not pass.....

The Atlantic shelf is to blame for that, I do believe.

The appropriate response to global warming alarmism is ambivalence.

Let them do their thing - all they really want to do is shout at people about how they're idiots.. a lot like the new feminists actually.

My concern is they are fighting against making the planet a bit better for humans and everybody else. They're like drunks who don't realize they have a problem.
